Tarot Sport
The second full-length from this noisy Bristol duo is more accessible than their first but sacrifices none of that record's visceral power.
Ten-minute songs, pounding drones, synths on endless loop, vocals nowhere to be found, and that charming band name—this one really sells itself, doesn't it?
Bristol noisniks Fuck Buttons, aka Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power, have hooked up with a big name boardsman-in this case DJ, remixer, and producer Andrew Weatherall-and toned down their aural apocalypse.
Tarot Sport is a mix of harsh and smooth sounds that mirrors the prickly juxtaposition of classic jazz.
<p>Fuck Buttons long, trance-inducing instrumentals nod to techno, noise and even the current shoegaze revival, writes <strong>Tim Jonze</strong></p>
F--- Buttons's 'Tarot Sport' is weird, dark, and unlike any techno you've heard before. Rating: * * * *
